first full moon of Fall

by David T. Gay

first full moon of Fall

Full moon, blood moon

first full moon of Fall

let her see the soul in me

clad in a red leaf shawl

Full moon, blood moon, first full moon of Fall

look down with your eye of white

and show her how my heart is hers

in the concert we play tonight

Your song persists, as does mine

from now to the end of the sun

Lead her home to my abode

to consummate what we've begun

I know her flesh belongs to a jerk

who uses her like a doll

Make him pay for snatching her

away from me last Fall

And if indeed she is lost to me

as seems quite likely the case

gather the pleasures and joy she brought

and for God's sake, erase, erase, erase
